Yes. Very much so. Especially given the fact that times have changed so much
that most of what we expected or took for granted back then is no longer
available today. When was the last time you have seen a phone book in a
public phone booth? Or a public phone booth to begin with? When was the last
time you saw a shop that would sell you a plane ticket? When did you last
use a street map in paper form, or GPS with an accuracy of a measly 100m
because Selective Availability was still activated?

That'd be a really interesting experiment. My daughter's generation wouldn't
even survive one hour without smartphone access...
